Prediction Summary

Wake Forest should control this game from start to finish, but the best value from the available numbers is on the total staying below the market expectation. The Demon Deacons have strong offensive output, yet their defense has also limited opponents well enough to make a lower-scoring script reasonable if they open an early lead and manage the fourth quarter. A projected final score of Wake Forest 41, Merrimack 14 fits that view and supports an under result.
